This is going to be horrible in Legion. I'm a hunter who uses engineering. I have the rocket boots, I don't need ANOTHER sprint.

Honestly, It's going to be the worst having that slow run back.

The removal of aspect of the pack's daze aura makes any nerf to aspect of the cheetah worth it.

One of the reasons that I like hunters is that we can shoot and BE ON THE MOVE. Can we be on the move with average running? Not really IMO

Worst change yet for the Hunter class that I've ever experienced.

Since Vanilla, we've stood apart by having a constant 30% + movement speed during combat and outside in the world / towns. It made Hunters play and feel different than any other class.

Now this spell is a worse disengage (very short distance changer) on a massive cooldown. Through Alpha and Beta, this spell has felt so terrible to use, and the old Cheetah leaves a very big hole.

You might as well remove it at this point. It's negligible in PvE. It's worthless in PvP, as you'll have slows on you 90% of the time and the most this will do is give you normal run speed for a whole three seconds.

Complete irredeemable garbage.

I have been a WoW player and Wowhead lurker for nine years and only this change to Aspect of the Cheetah has prompted me to create an account.

I am writing with the hope of building community support to revert the change made to Aspect of the Cheetah back to its former functionality. I have loved playing the hunter for nearly a decade; the class has always been my character main and favorite by far to boot.

With the change to Aspect of the Cheetah, and it is a MASSIVE change, I can literally feel my brain slowing down. It is causing a physical pain in my head. I absolutely abhor this change. The change is a depression and retardant to the class; it makes me not want to play anymore. It feels like our character is constantly running in mud. It makes me want to turn off my computer and go outside because running around at 100% whilst waiting for an 11-second speed boost every three minutes FEELS like an enormous waste of my personal time, and believe me, 9 years of consistent 130-138% (with the glyph) running speed makes a HUGE difference to travel time in the form of days and days worth of time.

I call for Aspect of the Cheetah to be reverted to its former self. I will continue to be extremely distressed about this change. I know that in the grand scheme of things, perhaps World of Warcraft does not matter, but in this moment, in regards to a game I have invested 100's of days, absolutely dominated by playing a hunter main, I cannot sit silently and allow blizzard to change one of the most fundamental aspects of being a hunter. Please support me and my fellow hunters in the hopes of reverting this change.

If you came here looking for the spell IDs for the two buffs this ability applies, here they are:

Posthaste is now a better aspect of the cheetah than aspect of the cheetah.

While I'm aggravated about losing the constant movement speed buff this used to give our class, MM and BM hunters can use the Disengage bound with the level 45 talent Posthaste to provide a speed burst for a 28 second speed burst.

Casting Disengage gives you a 60% increase in speed for 8 seconds, as that expires, hit your Aspect of the Cheetah for 12 seconds of increased speed. As that runs out, cooldown should be reset. So do your little pirouette move (let that little ballerina inside of you out, you know you've been doing this since MoP), hit Disengage one more time, 8 more seconds of speed.

Hardly a decent replacement for what Aspect of the Cheetah used to be, but I find using combining the two spells like this at least gives me some speed gains. And hey, at least we aren't warrior slow, right?
